Chapter 51: Lingzhou

"Senior brother, have you made progress in your martial arts again?" Looking at Wang Lie, who was forgetful and howling, Li Suning asked.

"Master's gift has not been fully digested until today, and now I know how profound Master's cultivation is, and I have achieved seven or eight achievements, and I feel that my internal strength is endless, like a vast ocean. Wang Lie said with emotion.

"Of course Master, it's amazing. Li Suning said as a matter of course, "Senior brother, it's been more than two hours since you had an epiphany, and I'm going to starve to death." ”

"Oops!" Wang Lie patted his head, "It's all senior brother's fault." He sneered and said, "Senior brother is in a good mood today, let's go, let's go into the city for a big dinner." ”

The place where they are located is Lanzhou City two or three miles to the east, Lanzhou at this time still belongs to the territory of Tubo, which is why Yeluji is inconvenient for them to enter the city, Liao and Tubo are not said to be mortal enemies, the relationship is not so friendly, if the king of the Southern Courtyard of Liao State appears in the city of Tubo, it is not a trivial matter, Yeluji went to the grassland to hunt horses secretly this time, deliberately bypassing the area controlled by Tubo.

Although it is the territory of Tibet, there are many Han business trips in the city, Wang Lie and Li Suning are not very conspicuous in it, after entering the city, they found a restaurant to have a big meal, this is the first time the two of them have come to the city in the past two months, they have been traveling on the prairie before, and at this moment they have the illusion of returning to the civilized world.

After a full meal, they found an inn to stay, took a hot bath happily, the two fell asleep early, and the tent that they had slept in for so long could finally have a bed, Wang Lie lay comfortably in the comfortable bedding and fell asleep.

The next morning, before Wang Lie woke up, he was awakened by a banging knock on the door.

"Senior brother, get up!" Li Suning's voice sounded outside the door, "The sun is drying your butt!"

Wang Lie stretched his waist, even if his internal strength was deep, he was so tired that he had a sore back after riding the horse for so many days, and after this night's deep sleep, he was almost recovered.

got up and dressed, opened the door, Li Suning stood at the door with a tray in his hand, and in the tray was a drawer of buns, a side dish, and two bowls of porridge, which were their breakfast.

"Why is Ning'er so diligent today. Wang Lie quipped.

"People are not diligent one day. Li Suning wrinkled his nose and said, "And it's all too late, senior brother, you are really a big lazy worm." ”

"Our family Ning'er is so diligent, it doesn't matter if my senior brother is a lazy worm. Wang Lie laughed, took the tray and put it on the table, and beckoned Xiao Er to come to a basin of water, and when he finished washing, Li Suning had already secretly eaten a bun.

After breakfast, Wang Lie took Li Suning to the street for a walk, at this time Lanzhou is still a military fortress, although the city is very lively, but most of them are traders who trade cattle and sheep, and the Han people also transport some daily necessities such as salt and tea, there is really nothing to shop.

After shopping for a while, Li Suning became a little impatient, urging Wang Lie to go back to the inn, Wang Lie was not interested in these, so he took Li Suning back to the inn, packed his luggage, and took their horse and left Lanzhou City.

At this time, Lanzhou City was located on the south bank of the Yellow River, and Wang Lie and the others did not cross the river, but walked along the river. After a few days of walking all the way to the east, the river bends to the north, and the waterway has gradually widened, and you can vaguely see a little bit of the majesty of the Yellow River. The two have entered the border of Xixia from Tubo, in fact, at this time Xixia has not yet established a state, this vicinity was occupied by the Dangxiang clan, that is, the later Xixia, the two did not have a road, fortunately at this time, the investigation could not help the two, a few miles around the border easily, and traveled for more than ten days, on this day, the two came to Lingzhou, that is, Xiping Mansion, in fact, it is the Ningxia Lingwu of later generations.

Lingwu is known as the "plugged Jiangnan", the Yellow River is close to the city, the natural scenery is outstanding, the whole city is hidden among the lush trees, and even the houses have a tendency to imitate the Han Chinese.

"Ning'er, this city is not bad, let's rest here for two days before continuing to hurry. "I have been on the road for many days, and I haven't seen many people, let alone martial arts people, and I feel bored after seeing too much scenery, both of them feel a little tired, especially Li Suning, although the little red horse runs more steadily than ordinary horses, but it is also a big burden on her small body, if it weren't for her martial arts, she would have been unable to stand it a long time ago.

"Okay. The last time I went to the Central Plains with Master, I didn't think it was too far. Li Suning said, "It turns out that the world is so big, we haven't arrived in the Great Song Dynasty after walking for so many days." ”

"Haha, the world is much bigger than you think. Wang Lie said, but he didn't take out the earth to show off, so don't take out these things to shock the world.

The two rode their horses to Lingzhou City, just about to enter the city, a team of men and horses rushed out of the city, pedestrians dodged one after another, Wang Lie and they also drove their horses to stand on the side of the road, the team of people and horses roared past in front of their eyes, the leader was a round-faced young man wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and a black crown hat, followed by a team of cavalry, it seems that it should be the noble children of the party.

After the team ran over, the pedestrians returned to the road and walked towards the city, Wang Lie patted the dust on his body, and the two slowly drove the horses to follow the crowd towards the city.

Lingzhou City is not a big city, the prosperity of Cheng dΓΉ is very ordinary, casually inquired, Wang Lie took Li Suning to the door of an inn, this is known as the best inn in Lingzhou City, but it is only a three-story building, the two came to the door, a guy came up to greet him, handed over the horse to the guy to take care of, the two came upstairs to find a window seat to sit down.

asked for a few dishes at random, and Wang Lie poured a glass of water for Li Suning.

"I've been tired for a few days, and the journey hasn't always been so easy and fun. Wang Lie said that there is no other means of transportation now, whether it is riding a horse or taking a carriage, long-distance travel is a very tiring move, even if they are martial arts masters.

"It's fine. Li Suning drank a glass of water, "It's not that people can't endure hardship, senior brother is too underestimated, and practicing when he was a child was much harder than this." ”

"When you were a child? Haha, how old are you now. Wang Lie said with a smile, his skills came from Xiaoyaozi, and he had not experienced the hard work of practicing since he was a child, in fact, it was so easy to become a martial arts master, even if he had peerless martial arts, he had to study hard to achieve something, even if he was Wang Lie, he had to practice hard day and night for two years before turning those skills into use.

"I'm already twelve years old, okay!" Li Suning rolled his eyes, twelve years old was still very young in Wang Lie's eyes, and it was not small in the eyes of the ancients, in fact, in the Legend of the Condor Heroes, Huang Rong was only fifteen years old when he appeared.

"Okay, it's not small. Wang Lie said perfunctorily, although he hadn't experienced much, he had traveled to the world of Tianlong Babu for nearly three years, except for the days when he first came from Dali to the Central Plains, most of the rest of the time he stayed in Xiaoyao Valley to practice and guard the tomb, and the things in the previous life felt a little like a dream.

Just as he was thinking, a voice came from downstairs.

"My Royal Highness has chartered the venue, everyone is leaving!" The arrogant male voice shouted loudly: "Hurry up! No need to settle the bill! My Royal Highness is invited!"

Wang Lie frowned, looked sideways from the window downstairs, there was a team of people staying at the door of the inn, the leader was the young man who had just left the city, the young man had a round face, under the blazing gaze, the eagle hooked his nose and shrugged up, with a somewhat awe-inspiring and inviolable demeanor in his fortitude. Standing at the door of the inn, he was of medium stature, but he looked burly and heroic.

"Hurry up! Your Highness didn't hunt when he went out of the city today, and he was not in a very good mood, but you would be comfortable if he delayed. The arrogant voice urged.

Wang Lie saw that there were already people on the first floor who left in a hurry, and after a while, a junior second went up to the third floor, and politely said to the guests dining upstairs: "You guests have offended, His Royal Highness Yuan Hao wants to charter our restaurant, so I have to trouble you, the shopkeeper said, today's wine and food are all free!"

The local people knew that this highness was not easy to mess with, and there was no need to cause trouble for a meal, so they got up and left, and when they heard the word Yuan Hao, Wang Lie's heart moved, at this time, Western Xia had not yet been founded, could it be that this young man was Li Yuanhao who established Western Xia? Even if it was Li Yuanhao, he was not qualified to let himself make the place, and he would casually recognize people and drive them away, so how could he talk about it.
